Korra groaned as the energy charged water was moved to her arms.
“Why am I you’re test subject?” she hissed, the coldness helping the pain though the tempter was almost unbearable.
“You are injured and after watching Desna almost expire I wish to learn to heal.” Her cousin replied matter-of-factly as she continued to administer the healing.
“Since when do you care about helping anyone?” Korra asked, her tone snappish as her cousin put pressure on the strained muscle of her arm.
“Do not pretend you understand me Cousin.” Came the dead reply, earning a glare.
“I have a name Eska.” The Avatar barked, only to find a wave of water hitting her in the face.
“Would you rather I fetch Katara to finish up?” the northerner asked, her tone actually holding irritation.
Korra was so surprised by the cold gush against her face and her cousin’s slight emotion that she could barely splutter out a reply. Although she was surprised when she saw Eska’s lips quirked up slightly.
“Stop mocking her Eska. She is obviously tired.” Desna stated from the corner of the room where he was leaned against the wall, eyes closed.
Eska casted her brother a look before continuing helping her cousin.
“Why are you helping me? I mean…we’ve never been close.” Korra asked, causing the other girl to look up.
“That was mostly father’s doing…he and uncle had some differences.” Desna retorted from his spot before his sister added
“That and this tribe is so drab.”
Korra chuckled a bit at that.
“Try living in a compound. The most I had to look forward to was the few outings a week from my parents and the spirits festival.” She admitted causing the twins to share a look.
“Perhaps you should come visit the north…It is more civilized than this location.” Desna suggested.
Meanwhile Asami lay against Naga nearby, the parka that she had purchased earlier pulled taught and the hood up while she dozed with her back against Naga. The act concerned Korra, causing her to wonder just how often Asami awoke or stayed awake because of her.
Noticing where Korra’s gaze had landed the pair shared a look. Though they didn’t comment on it.
